First of all, in a supposed free market economy, why is there any lack of housing? Answer, big government statism.
The fact that Sweden foolishly opened its doors to every one and their brother to enter the country and claim asylum, has only served to exacerbate the problem of the housing shortage. Also, due to the statist/collectivist mentality that champions identity politics, without which multiculturalism could not exist, the government chooses who gets what.

Swedish families will be placed beneath migrants in the wait for housing in Enköpings
Families in the country have ben left outraged over the decision which has seen all available apartments owned by the municipal property company put aside for migrants.
Politicians in Enköpings, Sweden, this week approved a proposal allowing the step to be taken.
Those already on the waiting list will be placed behind newly arrived Syrians, Iraqis and Afghanis as most vacant apartments owned by Enköpings Housing Rentals (EHB) are earmarked for them.
Social Democratic Party councillor Helena Proos said: “We are in a tough position because there are very many people who are looking for housing, but we have an obligation to provide housing for newly arrived refugees.”

In March of this year a law requiring all municipalities accept and provide housing for migrants came into effect.
Ever since Enköping has been searching for accommodation to provide those escaping war and poverty.
